How Do Regulatory Bodies Address Unintended Side Effects?
Regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) play a crucial role in monitoring and addressing unintended side effects. They evaluate data from clinical trials and post-market surveillance to ensure that the benefits of a substance outweigh its risks. They can mandate changes in labeling, restrict use, or even withdraw a substance from the market if necessary.
